Pictures from the Sept. 3, 2007 Suffield Farm Fest

We were exhibitors there with Ruby and Princess. This was the second year we have done this with these two girls. Both of them were a big hit and they really seemed to enjoy themselves.

The girls got to see and meet and lot of new people and things. Here Princess is with Mr. Rooster.

Both girls are learning how to drive. This is the first time either of them has been driven outside of our farm. We were amazed at how well both of them did. Nothing seemed to phase or startle them, even with everything going on around them.

Ruby went in first.

Ruby was a real little trooper. The ring had a slant with a bit of a grade. She just pulled that cart right along. Standing just outside the ring are the Nicholson's who train mules and donkeys to drive and were impressed with our little girls.

She also got to drive in the ring with a minature donkey. This was the first time she was driving with another cart.

We did not get pictures, but we challenged the donkeys to a jump-off. Both girls beat the pants of them!

Princess then got her chance to drive and was as good as Ruby.

Not even a tractor driving by bothered Princess.

A neighbor of our's Erica Fearn was there with some of her goats. Neither of the girls had ever seem a goat before and were fascinated!

Here's Erica and Frankie.

Ms. Cow came over to visit and then Mr. Rooster joined her. Eariler Mr. Corn came over to visit, but we mentioned how they got a treat of corn husks and he ran away. We never did get a visit from Mr. Carrot. Maybe he remembered what happened last year...horses like carrots...mmmmm

A couple of cute little girls stopped by in their little country dresses.
